A trade off but a good one....for me.

It seems that one of my favorite actors in Hollywood will be leaving (Mekhi Phifer), and will be replaced by one of my favorite actresses. Apparently for the last few weeks there has been this buzz that, Angela Bassett will throw on some scrubs and join the cast of ER for its final season on air.

There seems to be many actors making the move to Television. Perhaps it is the lucrative nature of its vehicle if you can turn what ever you take on into a popular move. Showcasing your star power. It worked for Glenn Close, Patrick Dempsey, and a host of others. Plus it allows you bring your star back out, and allow it to shine amongst those who would not have otherwise known you.

Don't fret just like all of our big screen actors who hit the small screen. Angela is working hard around the clock and you will see her in the upcoming film Notorious and followed by Nothing but the truth, just to turn around and heat up the screen with Toussaint.

So we are looking at a full plate here. If she does this with grace and with the same drive she has in her films in the past. I am sure that joining the cast of ER will be beneficial to all parties involved and will make this one of the best show closing season ever seen on Television. Also allowing Angela Bassett that publicity she deserves, so that we can see the, "Whats Love got to do with "buzz, that she had when she worked with Laurence Fishburne in the Tina and Ike Biopic.

We will see and I look forward to this season of ER and I am sure that I will not be disappointed.
What about you?
